Capture the Jade:

It has been half an hour since Eunuch Liu left, but Lin Chengyou is still sitting alone by the fish pond fishing.

A Zhi and Chang Yi originally wanted Lin Chengyou to take them to play, but after a fuss for nothing, the Daoist Master Qingxu coaxed and tricked them into the palace.

The Taoist priest Qingxu didn’t stay behind either.

The wife is also wise and walks away.

In such a huge courtyard, Lin Chengyou is the only one left. When the wind blows, it is indescribably bleak.

The empress asked people to come out to visit a few times, but the maids and eunuchs all acted lightly, with a cautious look, as if they were afraid that they would attract Lin Chengyou’s attention, they took a look from a distance, and then quietly retreated The palace reported to the queen what was happening by the pool.

Lin Chengyou fished for a long time, not only could he hear no one in his ears, but there was no one in front of him.

This is exactly what I want, and I urgently need a quiet moment. This alone is not enough, I just wish that everyone in the palace would disappear.

But no matter how quiet the surroundings are, Fang’s heart can’t calm down for a moment. What’s more, after fishing for half an hour in vain, the fishing rod remains motionless.

The fish in the pond seem to have noticed something, and they hide away together.

Lin Chengyou casually sprinkled a handful of fish food, but it was useless.

Not only did the group of fish not take the bait, but they kept spitting bubbles under the water. That string of bubbles reminded me of the string Teng Yu spit out to her before she fainted underwater.

Lin Chengyou closed his eyes, it was so awkward that even the fish couldn’t make fun of him.

There is no way to catch this fish. I put down my fishing rod and made a gesture to turn around. Anyway, I can’t figure it out by myself, so I plan to ask Teng Yuyi face to face.

If you have something to say, you can rely on others to relay it. If you have something to say, you must say it clearly in person. What do you really think, you have to listen to it with your own ears.

Just as he was about to stand up, someone walked by the fish pond.

The hem of the man’s brocade robe was tattooed with a pattern of double fishes with beads. When the breeze blew by, the silver scales on the pattern were faintly visible. After standing for a while, the man sat down next to Lin Chengyou.

The king of Chun’an County took the fishing rod that Lin Chengyou had just put down, looked at the water surface and said softly, “I’m drinking in the palace tonight, why do you suddenly want to come here to propose marriage for yourself?”

Lin Chengyou also looked at the pool, and smiled when he heard the words: “It’s just a coincidence. Tonight, the monarchs and ministers are talking about the marriage of the clan’s younger brother. Just as my nephew has a sweetheart, I will mention it by the way. .”

The king of Chun’an County sighed, took out something from his arms and handed it to Lin Chengyou.

Lin Chengyou turned his head and saw that it was the dancing fairy lamp.

“Since you openly ask to marry Mrs. Teng tonight, uncle can tell you something face to face.” Jun Wang of Chun’an pointed to the wine cup, “This is a property of Teng’s mansion, about Five days ago, someone gave it to my house as a gift.”

Lin Chengyou’s face was pale, and he slowly rubbed the wine cup.

“I’ve had someone check it out. This fairy dancing lamp was carved by the court craftsman Wen Xianzhi at that time. There were only two sets at that time. One was stored in the palace, and the other was a holy man. It was rewarded to General Teng who returned triumphantly, because it was too rare, and after a few days of investigation, it was found on the head of General Teng.”

Paused, and then said: “In addition to this set of imitation cups, my mansion also received several gifts from Teng’s mansion, including hand-made snacks, hand-made shoes and socks, and a few more. There are hand-made purses. The lacquer box for the dim sum is exactly the same as the lacquer box used to give gifts in Tengfu on weekdays. The silk cloth wrapped in shoes and socks is also a unique decoration in Tengfu. It seems that we are afraid that we will not be able to guess that this thing is a gift from Mrs. Teng. Because it is too conspicuous, the steward of our mansion told me about it when he received the first gift. Me.”

Lin Chengyou looked at the wine cup in his hand, and his eyes were full of sarcasm: “This is clearly someone who secretly corrupted Mrs. Teng’s name. Making shoes, socks and purses is a painstaking effort, Mrs. Teng doesn’t have this Patience, I was busy evacuating a while ago, and now I spend all day reading in the courtyard, how can I spare so much free time?”

The king of Chun’an County smiled slightly and said: “You have always been transparent. This thing is so ingeniously done that my uncle almost believed it. If it is spread to the outside world, Teng Niang’s name will not be damaged in the slightest. It is obviously useless to use this matter to frame Teng Niang. You have a sweetheart, I wanted to confirm this with you in person, but you are busy investigating the case all day, and it is rare to see it. Coincidentally, as soon as the rumors came out, that person started giving gifts even more, just the snacks. Several times, and almost everything can be found in Teng’s house. It is so obvious that I only need to attach a letter of confession from Mrs. Teng. Given the coincidence of the timing, my uncle began to guess that this person’s purpose may not be good. On me, but on you, this person not only wants me to misunderstand Niang Teng, but also wants you to think that the person Teng Niang likes is uncle.”

Lin Chengyou nodded mockingly: “Send such a conspicuous thing, but you don’t leave your name. Uncle can’t ask Mrs. Teng face to face. This misunderstanding will always exist. If uncle happens to like it too.” Lady Teng, if I have this to encourage, I will take the initiative to ask for marriage sooner or later. Even if my uncle doesn’t like Lady Teng, after all, I often go to the county prince’s mansion. There are many times, and one day I will bump into Lady Teng ‘The scene of giving a gift to my uncle. Maybe that person thought that as long as I misunderstood Teng Niangqi’s favorite person as uncle, I would give up thinking about Teng Niangqi.

Didn’t that person almost succeed in the box of pear cake last time?

It’s just that that person has a lot of calculations, and there’s a problem with that person – he likes to ask about everything in person.

Lin Chengyou smiled and said: “Uncle has already seen that I like Mrs. Teng? The gift giving made you suspicious, but you don’t want to damage Mrs. Teng’s reputation, nor Let me misunderstand, the purpose of proposing to the emperor tonight is to provoke me?”

The king of Chun’an County looked back at Lin Chengyou: “As soon as you gave Teng Niang’s red flame horse to Ledao Villa, I knew what you thought about her. Not only did I know this, but I also doubted that you had seen it. ‘Teng Niang’ gave the gift to the mansion. I was suspicious when the box of pear cake was delivered to the mansion last time. I wanted Liu Fu to check it out, but I didn’t know it. Head, the lacquer box is gone, only you and Ah Qi were in my house at that time, did the lacquer box let you go?”

Lin Chengyou smiled brightly, admitting it.

“You.” The Chun’an County King leisurely pulled up the fishing rod, “The person who gave the gift was very clever, and he managed to control almost everyone, but uncle doesn’t like it. People are used as targets, after much deliberation, you have to do it yourself if you want to break this situation. A while ago, I saw your thoughts on Mrs. Teng, and I thought that with your temperament, you would soon I would ask for marriage, but I didn’t expect that you have been silent. Tonight, I lied that I have someone in mind to stimulate you, and that person’s plan was completely defeated. When you propose marriage, everyone in Chang’an knows that the person you like is Niang Teng, it is absolutely impossible for the two uncles and nephews to grab the same daughter, and it will be superfluous for that person to try to pull me to play this trick in the future.”

Lin Chengyou sighed in his heart, if he liked another girl, he would have proposed marriage a long time ago, but Teng Yuyi was different, she was cast under the wrong hook spell before she was born, if she wants to live past sixteen Years old, only by life.

It’s not easy to borrow his life, but because of his special physique, he has attracted endless evil spirits.

Thinking about Teng Yuyi’s experience in the past few months, it is not easy to survive.

After I guessed the truth, it was too late for me to feel sorry for him, and because I knew I was guarded, in order to help me accumulate more merits, I did not express my heart to her.

Thinking about this, Teng Yuyi had a thought. Having said that, once Wu Qi’s case was solved, Teng Yuyi seemed to be no longer on guard as before. The first time I go out, I only take a Duanfu with me.

After Wu Qi pleaded guilty in public last time, Teng Yuyi’s expression seemed to meet her sworn enemy. Later, when she confronted Wu Qi face to face in prison, Teng Yuyi’s gaffe couldn’t be concealed even more.

This doubt always haunts my heart.

Suddenly I heard the emperor’s uncle say: “There is still a doubt in this matter. Because I suspect that someone deliberately imitated the things of Tengfu, I once asked people to take out the things to inquire secretly. According to the workshops where nearly half of them have not taken over this kind of work, and after inspection, whether it is the lacquer box of “Tengfu” or the Wuxian lamp, they all have a problem. If it is a sincere imitation, then You have to start imitating it a few days ago. This matter sounds very strange, since it has something to do with you and Teng Niang, why don’t you check it out.”

Lin Chengyou was very interested in picking up the fairy dance lamp on the side of the robe: “Is there such a thing? The thoughts are vicious enough.”

Chun’an County King: “Whether that person is coming for Mrs. Teng or you, this bureau has been arranged a few days ago. When you find out the truth, you must Tell uncle who that person is, and I want to know what’s going on.”

Lin Chengyou said: “Okay, let’s rush. Even the emperor’s uncle dares to plot against me, and I have to let him go around.”

The king of Chun’an County took a look at Lin Chengyou: “Are you planning to catch fish here overnight?”

“No more fishing.”

After talking to his uncle, Lin Chengyou’s brows relaxed a lot, he clapped his hands and turned around and said, “Is the emperor going home? Let’s go together.”

***

After the people in the palace left, Teng Yuyi turned over on the bed, over and over, and fell asleep after tossing for a long time.

The college will not go to school tomorrow, so I can sleep in with peace of mind.

The matter of the Wu sisters happened last time, Vice President Liu was greatly shocked, saying that as the dean, he failed to detect the abnormal state of the students in time, and suddenly had a heartache. ‌I didn’t see her on the day, and the hospital affairs were busy, so the queen ordered a ten-day holiday in order to show sympathy for Vice President Liu.

It is estimated that school will not start until the day after tomorrow.

While sleeping soundly, suddenly felt itchy nose, someone chuckled in the ear and said: “Little slob, get on the bed quickly.”

Teng Yuyi frowned, and put her head into the bed: “Sister, don’t make noise.”

“Here we come, classmate, are you going to hang them out all the time?”

Teng Yuyi’s sleepiness subsides: “Student?”

“Did you forget, on the night of Deng Shizhong’s birthday, everyone made an appointment to go to Ci’en Temple to hold the early summer poetry meeting. You decided on this date yourself. Deng Weili, Zheng Shuangyin, and Liu Siniang all came .”

When dressing up, Teng Yuyi could feel the kind gaze from her elder sister from time to time.

Teng Yuyi naturally knows why sister is like this. Last night, the news of Lin Chengyou asking for marriage before the imperial court must have spread throughout Chang’an.

‌I really want to pretend nothing happened, but I can’t help it. My sister kept staring: “Sister?”

Du Tinglan waited patiently for her younger sister to dress up, and then quietly asked, “Why did Lin Chengyou propose marriage all of a sudden?”

Teng Yuyi’s face turned red immediately, but her mouth was as if nothing had happened: “I, how do I know?”

“You really don’t want to marry Lin Chengyou?”

Teng Yuyi opened her eyes wide: “Why should I marry ?”

“You don’t like houses at all?”

Teng Yuyi’s ears were hot, but her tone was firm: “Of course.”

He walked towards the window with his head held high.

Du Tinglan smiled: “If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. What are you in a hurry for?”

Teng Yuyi’s footsteps paused a bit, sister’s words sounded a bit like a joke, but she knew very well in her heart that it was a fact that she didn’t like Lin Chengyou now, look, she refused to marry last night But he didn’t hesitate at all. For her, a benefactor is a benefactor, and a friend is a friend. If you want to worry about Lin Chengyou, you can guarantee that there will be no second words, but you don’t want to marry him.

There are very few men in this world who are not half-hearted. If Lin Chengyou likes someone today, maybe he will like someone else tomorrow.

Besides, I have never said that I like it in person.

So I don’t regret the refusal to marry, not at all.

Noticing that sister is still staring at her, Teng Yuyi raised her eyebrows, intending to emphasize a few more words of her heart, the maid in the hallway said: “Here comes again from outside, little lady, hurry up and go out Treat your guests.”

The two sisters just stopped talking.

About a dozen students came to the middle hall, besides the leaders Deng, Zheng, and Liu Sanniang, there were also Chen Siniang, Li Huaigu and others.

The house is full of pearls and emeralds, Deng Weili is wearing a newly made summer dress, and he always smiles, Zheng Shuangyin is wearing a goose-yellow silver silk skirt, the whole person is as beautiful as a cream chrysanthemum, Liu Siniang and others laugh Continuously, looking more joyful than before, among all the classmates, only Li Huaigu’s face is pale, but he has also deliberately dressed up, the light lotus-colored embroidered white butterfly skirt on his body is extraordinarily beautiful. ‌It sets off like a person in a painting.

“You’ve finally come out.” Deng Weili greeted Teng Yuyi happily when he saw it, “It’s just the beginning of time, don’t you want to sleep a little longer?”

Teng Yuyi ordered his servants to hurry up, and said respectfully: “The classmate who can sleep the most has gone out in person, do I dare to stay in the house again?”

Liu Siniang and Zheng Shuangyin smiled and separated the two of them: “You two don’t fight again. Let’s go, let’s go, it’s sunny today, you can play for a day.”

Perhaps knowing that Teng Yuyi would be embarrassed, no one took the initiative to mention Lin Chengyou’s marriage proposal.

When we arrived at the Ci’en Temple by the Qujiang Pool, another group of students had already been waiting.

Girls come in together, first enjoy flowers and poems in the temple, eat vegetarian food in the temple at noon, and go to the playground outside the temple to enjoy the scenery of the river in the afternoon.

Today, Teng Yuyi was the host. In order to let the students have a good time, Duanfu and Chang Geng rented a few painting boats. Once the boats were parked on the bank of Qujiang, many girls got off the boat together to fish and write poems. There is also a place for those who love to go by boat. The servants have already set up tents and mats on the shore. If the girls are tired from shopping, they can play on the mats.

After settling down here, Teng Yuyi took Duanfu to buy some food and food. Because they had traveled too far, when they came back, the master and servant could only walk around by a remote path by the river.

When passing by a tent, I heard a few classmates talking inside: “Why don’t you see Mrs. Peng and Erniang Peng today?”

“Don’t mention it. The last time Peng Erniang was framed by that villain Lu Zhaoan, she was very angry at that time, and she fell ill after she heard that she went back. After that, no matter which classmate invited her, she never saw her again. I came out to play.”

“What about Mrs. Peng? Didn’t she say the day before yesterday that she would come out to play with us?”

“Huh? You don’t know yet?”

Teng Yuyi’s ears perked up.

“Last night in front of the imperial court, General Peng deliberately set up a bridge between his granddaughter and King Cheng. Asking to marry Mrs. Teng in front of everyone, the Peng family’s face was wiped out, I guess Mrs. Peng felt ashamed because of this matter, so she refused to go out today.”

Teng Yuyi also heard about this incident last night, and felt weird at the time.

Peng Sishun has been shrewd and capable all his life, but now he becomes confused?

As an important minister of the imperial court, it is not surprising to seek a satisfactory marriage for the grandson, but with Peng Sishun’s calculating nature, why didn’t he first find out the tone of Cheng Wang’s mansion before asking for an imperial edict? Not only did Peng’s family suffer from such a reckless incident, but it also made the granddaughter ashamed.

This is not right.

The Peng family is able to have what it is today, in addition to being brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, they also have extraordinary acumen and calmness in the court.

Could it be that Peng Sishun is sick and dizzy? I don’t know if Peng Zhen can’t stand aside, if Peng Zhen didn’t, he definitely wouldn’t let his father commit such a stupid act.

Thinking about it, Teng Yuyi felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Is it possible…the Peng family did this on purpose?

Last time, Lu Zhaoan and Wu Qi intended to frame Peng Erniang. Although Lin Chengyou dismantled it on the spot, the Peng family had rebelled and would definitely think about it after returning.

There were so many people at the banquet that night, the master behind Lu Zhaoan did not want to frame others, but wanted to frame the children of the Peng family. After thinking about it, in the end, the Peng family might suspect that they had exposed their feet, and they were afraid that the court would take action in advance , so there is a series of actions behind.

After that, Peng Erniang said she was sick and would not go to the hospital anymore.

In addition to last night’s incident, even Mrs. Peng has “closed doors”.

However, it is not known whether it is true that he “could not escape due to illness” or if he left the capital quietly.

Only by doing so, can the female family members of the Peng family be secretly sent back to Huaixi Road without revealing any traces.

Teng Yuyi began to feel uneasy. According to this, the Peng family is very likely to rebel in advance. Last night, Lin Chengyou was also in the palace. With his keen mind, he must have doubts about the performance of the Peng family, but he was able to guess the intention of the Peng family so quickly because he knew that the Peng family wanted to rebel. , Does Lin Chengyou know that the Peng family has evil intentions?

No, I have to tell Grandpa and Lin Chengyou about this as soon as possible. There are pens and paper ready-made, so I will write an urgent letter later and ask Duanfu to deliver it to Grandpa himself. As for Lin Chengyou –

The few people said again: “Hey, let’s talk about this, do you know that Teng Yuyi rejected Cheng Wang last night.”

“I know.” Another person said, “Last night, there were hundreds of courtiers in the palace. This matter has already been spread. In the morning, my mother said that there are many people in Chang’an City who want to marry Cheng Wangfu. Wang ‌‌ is such a talented person, why didn’t Teng Yuyi agree.”

The few people in the tent probably expected that no one would come to this remote corner, so they spoke recklessly.

“I don’t know about this, but after this incident, King Cheng will definitely not ask to marry Niang Teng again.”

Suddenly another person said with a smile: “Oh, why do you say that?”

It’s Li Huaigu.

“San Niang, you just came to Chang’an. No wonder you don’t know Cheng Wang’s temperament. Cheng Wang kicked the sky and wells when he was young, and he is also suave and uninhibited when he grows up. I heard that the royal family these days As a child, there are only a few houses that received the most beatings. Although they are the most irritating, they are also the most likable. He grew up in Qiluo, how can such a person bear this? Unless he loves Teng Niang so much.”

A few people giggled and laughed. Obviously, from our point of view, this is impossible.

“That’s right, there are so many ladies in Chang’an. King Cheng hasn’t seen Teng Niang a few times, so I guess it’s just a whim, and there will be no more.”

Li Huaigu seemed to be in a very happy mood, and said with a smile: “Oh, let’s stop talking about this, look at this poem written by Zheng Niang, it is really elegant, no wonder it is famous. Outside.”

Teng Yuyi hummed in her heart, and walked forward with her hands behind her back and her head held high.

After a while, another tall stage was set up in front of the Moon Lantern Pavilion, and several barbarians with eagle noses and stalk eyes jumped up to perform tricks. Come out to watch the fun.

Teng Yuyi pulled Ajie and Deng Weili to watch, when someone behind him said: “Teng Niang.”

Teng Yuyi looked back happily, winning and abandoning her wits.

“Xiao Daoist, why are you here?”

The round faces of Juesheng and Qizhi are covered with beads of sweat. They are also very happy to see Teng Yuyi. They wiped off their sweat and said, “It’s time to find Teng Niang. Let’s go to Teng’s mansion to find her.” Mrs. Teng, Cheng Bo said that you came near the Ci’en Temple, but I didn’t expect that there were so many people by Quchi today, so I almost missed Mrs. Teng.”

Teng Yuyi pulled them aside: “Is there anything you can do for me?”

Teng Yuyi’s classmates are all around her.

Everyone was a little surprised to see the little Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple approaching Teng Yuyi.

Juesheng and Qizhi said seriously: “There is something urgent. Teng Niang, you come with us.”

Teng Yuyi just said to Du Tinglan: “I will come when I go.”

Follow Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi to go to the other side. Duan Fu was too busy to keep up.

Abandon wisdom and go to the left of Teng Yuyi, Juesheng goes to the right of Teng Yuyi.

Qizhi turned his head inadvertently, and saw a young lady in the crowd staring at him, her expression was not very serious, and her eyes were also very cold.

Qi Zhi recognized her and knew her name was Li Sanniang, but Li Sanniang’s weird expression only lasted for a moment, before bursting into a peaceful smile.

Juesheng and Qizhi led Teng Yuyi’s master and servant to the shore, and ordered the boatman to sail the boat to the dock on the opposite bank. Shenghe Qizhi said: “Brother, Mother Teng is here.”

Teng Yuyi’s heartbeat quickened inexplicably, and the next moment, Lin Chengyou came out from behind the wall. Lin Chengyou glanced up and down at Teng Yuyi, and dragged him back: “Ask you a few words.”

Juesheng and Qizhi stuck out their tongues with blushing faces, leading Duanfu away from him.

Teng Yuyi let Lin Chengyou drag himself, but said in his mouth: “If you want to question me about what happened last night, I still want to ask you back, you are so stupid, ‌‌ Why did you suddenly propose to the emperor?”

Lin Chengyou paused, turned to look at ‌: “Why do you say?”

Teng Yuyi snorted and turned his head to the side: “If it was because of what happened in the water yesterday, then there is no need to be like this. I know that it was to save me at that time, and I will not let it go.” In my heart.”

Lin Chengyou’s face turned hot, but a smile appeared in his eyes. He stared at Teng Yuyi for a while, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: “Do you think that’s why I suddenly asked you to marry me?”

“Otherwise?” Teng Yu said eloquently, “Last night you suddenly—”

Lin Chengyou interrupted abruptly: “What if I say no.”
